[R] Installation of SrcStatConnectorSrv on Windows

[gordon.morrison at hsbcib.com]

I am trying to install SrcStatConnectorSrv(2) and rcom from local zip
files.

I have successfully downloaded both files (from CRAN for rcom CRAN Other
for SrcStatConnectorSrv) and installed rcom. However, I get the following
error message when I try to install SrcStatConnectorSrv (the version dated
21-Aug-2006:

> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open compressed file 'SrcStatConnectorSrv(2)/DESCRIPTION'

I have also run

 RSiteSearch("SrcStatConnectorSrv")

but this failed to yield any results.

I am running Windows XP Professional and

Could anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in anticipation
